Ok Where Is The Camera... This Is Not Happening!

Ok seriously, where is the camera. I often feel like I live in my own reality show but seriously.....whats up. I am making one of my bestest friends cakes for her family celebrations tomorrow... one wasc sinks in the middle WHY? Then another batch shrinks and pulls away from the side........and then I did a chocolate chip cake and trying to carve it...........note to self do not ever think about carving anything with chocolate chips and now I try to crumb coat and the cake is just rolling underneath my frosting..........seriously where is the camera? What the heck am I doing wrong????

Mbark, thanks for the compliment. Your cakes are pretty cool too! I hate to sound ignorant but I don't know who that is you came here to see. The weather has been weird. Yesterday afternoon it thundered, lightningd and poured!!! And was hot. Luckily, I had the week off from caking so I didn't have to deal with "technical difficulites" caused by the weather.

Yep, I am going to blame it on the weather! Can't believe that I made a mistakes hehehehe.. I am in So Cal in the middle between Orange County and San Diego. We went to the San Diego zoo yesterday and got rained on! Funky weather for sure! Where are you guys at?

I am in South OC near Irvine and there are three cake stores that I go to. Not to mention Joannes & Michaels when in a pinch. I am a lucky girl!

I am jealous! I drag my poor kids all over God's green earth looking at cake stores. I guess it is like my toys r us or my hubby Guitar Center. I am just amazed by all the different stuff each store has. My hobby is going to nickel and dime me to death

Hey! i'm in OC too! I LOVE calico! Love it! It's the best store in OC for supplies and being helpful. I also like orange novelty in Costa Mesa - the owner is super nice and is willing to help you on anything - design, ideas etc.. I have never been to ABC cuz I heard they are mean there. There are only these 3 stores that I have heard of in the area.

I have not even started the elephant cake, but I have most of the car... I am taking a breather! I need to check out Calico, I tried once but it was closed. Hay totally off topic but are you guys going to ICES? Ps Ill try to post pix of the car.. my computer has been funky... shuts off everytime I try to upload pix... ughh one more thing on my "oh man" list !
